New Mexico State University's International Competitive Scholarship lets qualifying F-1 students pay in-state tuition instead of out-of-state tuition (about three times lower) and adds a $100 cash stipend each fall and spring. Selection is based on GPA and TOEFL/IELTS scores: freshmen need a 3.50 GPA with TOEFL 520/68 or a 3.25 GPA with TOEFL 550/79 (or ACT/SAT alternatives); transfers need a 3.50 cumulative GPA; graduate students must complete 9 graded credit hours per semester with a 3.50 GPA. Awards are tentative pending I-20 documents, arrival, and full-time registration. Applications are accepted one semester in advance through ISSS.
